AN OPEN LETTER FROM THE BOOMERS TO THEIR CHILDRENDear people between the ages of 25 and 40,As we near retirement, Mom and I wanted to write you kids to share a few thoughts about the lives weve lived and the world weve left behind for you. We feel this is necessary because at first glance it might seem like we are a generation of narcissistic, spoiled assholes who freeloaded off of the magnificent world our parents built for us and then cashed out before handing it over to you. This is an unfair characterization. It disregards the fact that we earned the right to do those things. We earned them by being awesome. Havent you seen the films of us marching around protesting The Man in the sixties? Or the Woodstock footage that documents the way we changed the world with drugs, bad music, and indiscriminate fucking? We didnt cash out. We merely took what was due.
